I jspw*^ ,.-." The Negro is making history. He cut a large piece in history at Santiago: in fact, he cut the larg est piece when he fought side by side with the "poor white tiash" •and the millionaire "Rough Rid ers" and turned the tide of battle. The hills of San Juan go down in history of "don't retreat, boys do what you see the Negro sol diers do." In the tall i' STATE BYSTANDEL BT BTRAXPI nauwnra c«* DCS MOXNBS, IOWA FRIDAY AUGUST, 12. RACE ECHOES. Richmond Ind. has a colored lady teacher in a white school. Booker T. Washington, is a name that will live in history. Stand by your children. Give them a good education, and they will stand by you in your old age. Denver has a colored poliece matron, the first woman of the race to be thus honored. Five hundred Negro labors left this country recently for Cuba, the new land of fortunes. The colored people of North Carolina have formed a company and established a cotton mill at Concord, N. C. Who aays that the Negro is not advancing? It is going to be demonstrated in this war that the Negro can outfight the white soldier at any stage of the game. He has prov en his superiority in Indian war fare and he is now going to prove it with the Spanish forces.—Par sons (Kan.) Blade. Bishop Turner says: "Enough men have been lynched to death to reach a mile high it laid one up on the other, and enough women and children to form the head and foot slab, if they could be arranged to staDd upon the head of each other." A few days ago at Salt Lake City, a colored woman horsewhip ped a white man on the streets for insulting her daughter, and the judge lined him $15 and cost'in the bargain. Hurrah lor that colored woman: we need a few more such woman.—Lexinton (Ky.) Stand* ard. In every war in which this great country of ours has engaged the Nsgro has heroically played his part. History says that he split first blood in the Revolutionary war. He was there in the Mexi* can war, the war of 1812 the war between the states, and now he is playing no small part in the pres~ ent Spanish-American war.—ex change. of 1863," says the Boston Transcript, "when the de partment authorized the formation of Negro regiment in Eastern Tennessee, Shafter was commis sioned colonel of one organized at Murfreesboro, although Gen. Geo* H. Thomas declined to recognize the formation. Within four months Shafter had tanght every Negro under him how to read and write, and he drilled the oaganization until it became the show regiment of Nashvilie Tenn. The regiment distinguished itself in battle at Nashville. After the war Shafter was transferred to the regular army and was stationed on the Mexican border. While there he gave chase to Mexican marauders pursuing them tor many miles into Mexi can territory. This led to much diplomatic correspondence, in which Shafter was sustained. Shafter was the first to introduce the regimentol army." school in the The Negro as a laborer is grad* ually being displaced by the fore ign element coming to our shore. The question arises what is the •anse of tlis changing attitude to ward the Negro? Some would answer that it is his color bat to •nr minds this is the foil answev to the qaestioa, if any answer at •U. ttsSigraii abontthe same vhtn Us acrriM 5$ was more in demand. We are in clined to think that the Negro's lack in keeping up with the im proved way of doing things is the partial cause, if not the full. If we desirt to keep what we have and make way for our children we must do whatever wo are obli gated to do, as well or better than others. It will pay the leaders ot the people to investigate the cause of this change, and remove it. If possible.—Kentucky Standard Much comment is being made because many of the states have failed to comply with the call of the president for troops. Under the president's seoond call for troops, we will show the standing of three states, the number furnished up to the last return from the Adjutant General's office Georgia required 704 and only furnish 255 North Carolina required 783 and only furnished 55 Virginia required 900, and only furnished 591, Tak. ing in consideration the length of time that these states had to fur* nish their quoto, this is not a very good showing,. There will be no trouble whatever in raising the re quired number of troops if the au tnorities would only cast feelings aside and full recognize the color ed man as an American citizen. Commission the colored man and invite enlistment from that class of citizen, and more troops will be raised in a few weeks than what are needed.—S. Tribune. With the termination of the Fifty-fiftb Congress the fourth of March next, the term of twenty seven United States Senators will expire. Tea of these senators are republicans and the others are demorcats, silver republicans, etc. Two republican senators have al ready been elected, leaving eight states to act and each one of them can be depended upon to stand by the other states. The republicns expect to elect senators from about nine of them. It can be plainly seen now that with the begining of! the Fifty-sixth congress the repub licans will have an overwelmingly large majority in the upper house. The lower house i» now largely republican, and thoie is no pros pects of any great change in the coming election in Ifovember, in fact the republicans are endeavor ing to increase its already large majority in this branch, of congress, and so mote it be.—Savanah Tri bune MUCHAKINOCK.SEWS.
